If I had to sum up November in one word, it was ‘a damn month.’ Aside from being busy, it was the evaluation season, so the atmosphere around me must have been sharp, and I also had a lot of situations where I had to accept mock opponents from the teachers. Federation work, school work, mid-term presentations, and other important things kept happening one after another, and my body was completely broken after October, so it was a month where I kept going to the hospital and taking medicine to get through it. It’s a bit better now, but a few years ago when I was seriously ill, the symptoms came back and my body couldn’t make sense. In the meantime, I was so busy and had so many things to do that I didn’t even have time to eat, so at some point I started skipping meals, so I kept pushing myself to meet deadlines for my thesis and examination amidst the additional stress. Then, all of a sudden, I saw a teacher at the dojo. While I was waiting to go in, I thought, ‘What did it feel like to eat? What did it feel like to have food down your throat?’ I realized that I was under a lot of stress because I had gotten to this point. From then on, I started eating a little more, but in September alone, I deliberately maintained 52-53kg, but this month I lost 46kg. Now, I am gradually returning to the 48-49kg range. The biggest pain was that I was struggling to come, but I was working more than usual, training, and writing a thesis, so I failed… ?Really, this month, I’ve heard a lot from everyone who sees me, saying, “I was so surprised that I lost so much weight that I didn’t even know who I was.” My mom came to Tokyo to help me catch my breath for a while, but I guess it was because I was relieved of all the stress and tension I had built up, and I fell ill and was lying down, so even though she came after a long time, I couldn’t talk to her properly or play with her. I was very upset and sorry about that. It’s ironic that the only place where I could find peace of mind was the dojo, where everyone was so nervous because it was before the judging, but when I was in the worst shape, I still practiced at Noma in the morning. Feeling a little refreshed? Then, during practice, I almost collapsed once, so I cut short my training for a while. As soon as the joint examination was over, teacher Seok-soo said, “If you don’t practice more than now, you will really fail in the March examination…” ?” You said that, but I was sick after the screening in November, so I couldn’t attend only two or three practice sessions. Mud and dirt. It was around this time that Seulgi introduced me to Pikmin, so whenever I felt irritated and stressed, I would continue to stomp at home or keep walking outside until the accumulated clumps were released. There were many days where I walked 20,000 or 30,000 steps a day. Is it true that I reached level 32 just 3 weeks after starting Pikmin? In the meantime, I played Pikmin like crazy and even paid for games on my smartphone to feel refreshed. I spent 7,000 N. My teacher was worried about me every day because my condition was really bad, and he told me not to train, and even took me out to get some fresh air and eat something delicious, but things happened, and I didn’t want to tell my parents that I was sick, and my friends around me. I didn’t want to worry my close friends or seniors, so I stayed indoors. In the end, it is said that it was Pikmin who rescued me and saved my life… Thank you Pikmin-chan… !
-anyway. What happened in November? First of all, in the last week of October, 雅 suffered a stroke right before my eyes and almost crossed the Jordan River. During this period, I was experiencing all sorts of strange symptoms due to ischemic colitis, so my physical condition was not very good, but because of my condition, my nerves continued to be tense until I was discharged from the hospital. It was a time when Master was going through a very difficult time because there was a death in the family, just like you did. – *2nd, Grade 1 examination and review report meeting.
Successfully passed level 1. For more details, please refer to the previous passing review post.
*3 days, All Japan Convention. (This is also half the work, just watching…) Since it was played in 4 courts, I was so distracted that I watched the instructions… There were a lot of people in the audience, and it was especially impressive that there were a lot of older women. Of course, there were many foreigners. I had a few thoughts about refereeing, and I discussed them with my teacher later. https://thumbnews.nateimg.co.kr/view610///news.nateimg.co.kr/orgImg/in/2024/09/27/0342962334074d.jpg
*On the 4th, I was allowed to visit and went to visit the patient. After seeing the condition and seeing how bad it was, I cried and came home with a mental breakdown. I don’t know if it was a good thing or not, but that day, I went to Seulgi unnie’s and met Supreme Dignity for the first time in a while since she was a baby, and played with her for a while… ? She said she also ate the delicious lunch her sister made… !
Hehehe ㅠㅠ Thank you again, unnie. Thanks to my sister, I got my mind together…
*On the 5th, although my appointment had already been made, I came to the All Japan Kendo Federation (hereinafter referred to as All Kendo Federation) for a formal interview. That does not mean that university employees/doctors can. My main job hasn’t changed, but there were a few decisions I made, so I decided to work in a full-time job while conducting my research. In fact, when I was job hunting, I decided whether to go full-time, go into journalism, or go to graduate school. I couldn’t make a decision and was confused, After passing all the way to the final interview, I gave up on the interview when even the teachers concluded that we should settle for this one. When I think about it now, it may not be a big deal, or it may be a separation, but at that time, I was really worried about making important decisions in my life, so I couldn’t make up my mind about my career/future. In the end, I ended up working at Asahi Shimbun for a year and then came to Tokyo University, and it worked out well because it gave me an opportunity to build a career in various ways, but seeing as I ended up coming back here again. I guess it was just meant to be like this. I’m thinking. After the interview that day, I said hello to senior Jung-ya, and reported on various aspects and research-related issues to Professor Go-mori, who was working before me. It was really just a small talk. I was so nervous that I couldn’t do anything all afternoon when I got home.
*On the 6th, I had to deal with teacher’s work and a mock exam for an entire hour with seniors who were taking the 6th-7th level exam.
*On the 8th, at the teacher’s office, Mr. Yata held me in front of people for 2 hours to show me the content he was teaching and made me nervous, and I continued to demonstrate the mock examination measures and basic skills. A day when I had to accept it and respond first while continuing to understand the teacher’s intentions. It was so hard that I had muscle pain all over my body. In the evening, Teacher Taita was not there at the dojang, so the teacher came in his place. The lady asked me to share with me the part that Teacher Gokyo instructed the lady at the entrance to, so I thought we could do it together, but she went to the other side, so I was so annoyed that I ended up talking with the teacher. While I was teaching the beginners’ form, I got so annoyed that my head felt like it was going to explode, so I put on a helmet and practiced later. Just fold it up and follow the path to Master’s famous old shop. I talked about this with my teacher, but if the teacher wasn’t there, I would have had to teach all 10 beginners from 0 by myself, so I was very upset with Mr. Gogyo and the lady at Noggu who suddenly passed it over to me. I was angry too. I am grateful that they trusted me and entrusted me with it, but I think it was even more so because I was in a state where I didn’t have the energy to do all of those things. On the way home, I texted the lady an apology saying I was sorry for not responding well, and over dinner I thanked the teacher for listening to my story and sent her off.
*10th, 7th Imperial University OBOG East-West Competition. This year, I participated as a player and competed, and for some reason, the match I played was awarded as an ‘outstanding athlete/match’ nominated by Beomsa teacher Isin Ishin of Tohoku University, so I originally decided to meet at 11 o’clock in Shinjuku to join my mom. But because of this, I had to stay until 12 o’clock. I don’t even know why I received the excellent player award because I didn’t know the content of the match. I first asked teacher Kyo-yeon to practice, but the teacher was very strict about practice, so I ended up getting stabbed repeatedly. My whole body ached from the teaching assistants and mock exams that took place all week.
Somehow, I joined my mom, but in fact, my physical condition wasn’t that good since the 7th day, so it was a huge burden on my body at that time. Originally, I was planning to go here and there with my mom, but my mom said she couldn’t go around that much now that she was getting older and wanted to rest at home, so I stayed home and tried to hide it from my mom as much as possible, but I started to feel sick. During the three days and two nights that my mom was there, I felt like I was going to vomit, but my condition got worse because I was trying to hide it. My mom, like her, was worried about me because there was something strange about me, but she couldn’t tell me. Meanwhile, when I saw her for the first time in a while, I somehow got smaller and my heart broke even more. I’m upset.
*On the 11th, I felt a little better in the morning, so I went to practice in the morning, and then went to Yokohama with my mom, looked around the Yokohama Port area, and walked around. I played Pikmin for a while and then returned home. In the evening, I guess it was the day when I received teacher guidance at Tohoku. It was the day before Japan last month. Because of the division, the atmosphere between the students and the teacher got really bad, so I had to go to the dojo to mediate this, so I took medicine first and went to the dojo. I go and teach the kids, and teach them while setting an example by doing what the teacher asks me to do. On the way home, I tell the teacher honestly that I am feeling a little strange these days and that I will go to the hospital soon.
*On the 12th, my mom and I took a leisurely rest at home in the morning and then had lunch together (this was also a store I was originally planning to go to, but I wasn’t in a good mood + I found the wrong route and changed the store and it failed, so I was very upset). My mom was going to the airport. I sent them on a bus, came home, and went to sleep. After waking up, I immediately contacted the hospital and applied for treatment on Thursday. In the meantime, I cried and started making presentation materials again because it was a mid-term presentation of my doctoral thesis on Friday. Since I was the one who made the plan like this, it was no different from self-employment, so I cursed in a voice, asking if I was making a schedule like this and putting myself through all this trouble.
*On the 13th, I couldn’t go to the stamp in the morning. The teacher told me not to come to the studio even in the evening, but I went to the other place and got scolded. In the evening, I end up doing mock exams for an entire hour with seniors who are taking the 6th and 7th level exams.
*On the 14th, continued preparation of thesis mid-term presentation material. While I was halfway through it, I got caught up in it and was so upset after reading the content that I couldn’t finish the material that I was supposed to finish. Sigh!
Haircut!
*On the 15th, in the morning, my teacher told me that you were really worried about your health these days and that you should not come to the dojang today, so I didn’t go and made materials at home, and in the afternoon (fortunately) I gave a 3-hour mid-term presentation online. The feedback received was to organize the data more thoroughly, to investigate the cases more clearly, and to interpret the cases in terms of the internal psychological state of the interlocutor, not the part of the form. I was instructed to find more information about the situation in Taiwan and colonial Joseon. Am I satisfied with the results? The feedback wasn’t that good, so it was a presentation that made me feel the need to systematically organize the primary data even more than now, but I still felt sick because something important was over. I went to the academy in the evening, but Mr. Taetae I won’t be there anymore, I’ll practice with Mr. Tae-tae and finish practicing. I felt stuffy inside and couldn’t do anything, so I walked home for an hour and a half while playing Pikmin at the Japanese Military Academy (usually it’s 30 minutes by bus or train), but the stress I felt from the presentation was resolved, so I went home and fell asleep right away.
*On the 16th, it was the same day as OBOG. This time, it was Gyeong-mi-tae’s turn to come to Ishigda, so there were five 8th danjin people gathered together, including Mr. Ya, Mr. Kita, and on our side, Mr. Kyu-mong, Mr. Jeongwon, and Mr. Sanbon, so I was able to ask everyone to practice. It was also the day when the Waseda Kendo Club executive meeting was held, so in previous years, many of the seniors attending the joint exercise were older, but this time, many people came from all over the country, so there were many seniors who I said hello to for the first time in a long time. Senior Nasu from 茨城 played Kumiuchi during practice, so we took off our masks and fought, and it wasn’t all that crazy. But really, really, really, for the first time in a long time, the content of the practice was really good. Teacher Yeo said, “Now you can express what Tame is in a clear way.” The seniors from Waseda who were watching said, “They went to the teachers just like they said at the school!
” I was satisfied to hear that. Since my knee injury at the end of September, things have been really messed up, so the days were full of hesitation and hesitation, but that changed completely starting on the 16th.
*Discharged on the 17th… !
*On the 18th, I went to a bookstore for the first time in a while and read the papers and primary materials again. On the way home, I talked to Pikmin Neta for a while. John Jams… !
*On the 19th, the 4QT class at the university I am teaching begins. When I went to school for the first time in a while to work, I realized that there was a student who had joined the kendo club without my knowledge. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to properly teach the school’s kendo club for the past five months. I didn’t even know that this was a kid in my class. Anyway. I worked, played Pikmin again on the way home, and then went to Waseda to practice. In particular, Teacher Gyeong-won gave strong and long guidance, and where hitting on the head or wrist failed, he would stab at the root without hesitation. This is the part of my assignment these days. I remember being stabbed on the wrist by Mr. Tae-tae in that part last Friday as well, so I think I thought a lot about how to deal with it.
*On the 20th, I spent all day working on Master Tsukibito, deciding on the topic of the article that Master would submit to next year’s newsletter and reviewing what to do with the content. In the meantime, when I went to the dojang, all the seniors said, “Please be my opponent today!
” as it was judging and competition period. “Make today feel like a judge!
” All the requests have been told, so I’ve answered all of them, but I’m still struggling + Master is watching from the side and says, “Why can’t you show energy in this one!
” “Be sincere, be sincere!
” He scolded me and thought to myself, ‘No, they are the ones watching the matches and judging, so why are they only doing this to me?’ .’ box. Is this really something you would ask someone who was in great pain… .!
*On the 21st, I had a meeting in the evening, so I took a break in the morning. After resting until lunch, I got sick again, so I continued working on the manuscript that had been pushed back for a while, received feedback, translation work, and was asked to edit the manuscript. Then, around late evening, I cut my hair and went to the conference room in the house. Is it true that the dojo meeting, which was supposed to end in 15 minutes, lasted for over an hour and a half, and I almost missed the time to go to the dojo? Now the dojo is no longer there, but the swordsman association that I am a member of has been taught by instructors from the Dojo for generations. I guess it should be called that because it was a dojo right next to the Dojo. It is still known as the prestigious S Dojo, and people in the know know it. In the end, it was decided to negotiate with one of the four people, U/A/U/T, as the new teacher on behalf of Mr. Seino, and report it to Mr. I藤 and the relevant teachers. In addition, we also have meetings about how to deal with the actions of problematic members that have been going around behind Mr. Seitano’s back and internal problems. I am working in the business department and am working directly with the Seitaya Federation. , I have to organize it and report it one by one, but S again started talking in a heated manner, so I kept talking while pretending to be a teacher. I organized it and cut things off. In the meantime, Grandpa Y, the person in question I disliked, said about other members he disliked (not my story), “I think such and such issues, such as the content of the problematic members’ reckless guidance, should be dealt with strictly.” He bluntly said that this also applies to you. If you’re going to say that regardless of the mood, let’s discuss it here. You think I don’t know about the things you do on a regular basis, so you accuse me of hearing and being reported to you about everything you’re doing through the federation, other dojos, and 8th Dan teachers that you bow down to. If you don’t want others to act like that, you shouldn’t do it yourself… ? If the dojo is not yours and you want to act as a leader, just create your own dojo. If you don’t like it, shouldn’t you just stop here? I’m a small person, so I’m good at handling people who act like shit, and I’m not the type of person who is selfish or a schemer to take advantage of their strengths, so I say whatever I have to say. I think it’s impressive that he started kendo when he was over 40 and worked hard until he was 70, but he didn’t even say that he didn’t like the teaching methods of a 7th dan swordsman in his mid-30s who was a swordsman and is still working in the leadership team, even now that he quit. I noticed that he was deliberately picking on me and talking behind my back, so I told him to do something about it because it seemed like the real deal. Because of you, all young people quit and only old people like you remain. Ugh!
I wasted an hour and a half of my precious time just to say something like this… ?It’s annoying. I kept swearing at him even before the meeting with 雅 (*he’s the vice-president of the dojang) haha. If you think about it, the reason why 雅 collapsed this time is because the three grandfathers, including Grandpa Y, who keep causing problems in the dojang, called 雅 every day for 2-3 hours to complain, and personally contacted the federation to check on various things, and were stubborn about all kinds of things and caused a nuisance. Is that what happened? But the funny thing is, since Mr. Seino has been absent, those three people are the only ones coming to the dojang lol… . Most of them are members of dojos that only have enemies here and are the main activities. There are 50 members, and everyone except me is in 7th or 8th dan… . Ah, haha, so young people, new people are coming in… .? In a place where there are only three troublemakers, and where those three are fighting with each other… .? lol. The real killer is that they don’t know that they are the problem. Anyway, on the way to the station after the meeting, Teacher N is talking about various things about Mr. Yangda’s guidance these days, the school’s guidance policy, scouting methods, etc. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. You’re amazing, you’re amazing. Since I was a student, I have been working with Teacher 香田, and what I felt while working with him was that he was a talented strategist. I had this feeling, but when I actually listened to the instructor talk about his guidance at the school, I thought, ‘Wow, you are so thorough with the schedules, schedules, and tasks?’ Because I want to. I thought of my teacher a lot and that was it. I guess there are a lot of people like that to begin with. Teacher 谷 is the same too. He’s talented, but he never fails to do anything with his hands. I also don’t have the stamina to handle such a brutal schedule and work. Somehow, I went to King Kim’s house and practiced for 15 minutes and then came home. In the meantime, I walked home for an hour while reorganizing the minutes of today’s meeting with Jin and talking about various things. In the meantime, I worked hard on Pikmin.
*On the 22nd, the 14th anniversary of starting kendo. I said to my teacher, “Today is our anniversary!
” When I said, “What anniversary is it?!
” When I said, “It’s been 14 years since I started doing kendo haha,” the teacher said, “You’re doing a good kendo for 14 years!
” “I guess it’s because the teacher taught me well!
” I tried casting Nuye Nuye because it was Rashi. The practice wasn’t bad. From the morning, I practiced like this with Teacher ~尚道館~学園, but I received a new assignment from Mr. Ota, so I was aware of that and reorganized the relationship with the other person, change of direction, and theories based on the practice I did two weeks ago. Take your time. Based on that, I changed the uchikata a little, and that uchikata led to a really good direction during evening practice. The part about how to move the fuselage first.
A photo taken on this day every year. This time, senior Sanda took the picture.
The juniors at Tohoku University said they were selling omusoba at the school festival again this year, so I went straight after practice at the school and bought them some omusoba with my pocket money. Since I had a really hard schedule starting from the morning, it was a treat. Oh, and there aren’t many Pikmin near the bar… I’m looking for mushrooms, but I can’t find any…
In December 2011, my wife, whom I first met in Omishima Island and who always accompanied her husband, Mr. Keita Beomsa, to help him on days when kendo-related events were held in Tokyo or other regions, passed away at the age of 63 due to a long-term illness. It was November 22nd is ‘Good Couple’s Day’ in Japan. He was always famous for his good kendo skills, and he always taught me that ‘the wife/family/master of a kendo leader must assist her husband/leader/teacher like this’ through his own actions and sometimes to me as well, strictly regarding the rules of the kendo world. Because he was a person who spoke honestly. He was a person I really liked, although rather than saying that, he was a person who had both good and bad parts. Still, I was very sad that the person who had been by my side for a long time, 13 years, passed away like this. When I went to practice in the evening, teacher Gobashi said, “I heard you went into full-time training?” He said it with a smile, so I stupidly said, “How did you know…” ?” I answered, but the teacher (there’s no way he doesn’t know since he’s on the committee…) looked at me with an expression that said, ‘I don’t know why he’s saying such nonsense,’ so I was confused… No, I was planning to announce it officially when I started working, but if the story has already spread among the Federation officials and teachers, then everyone knows… ? I’m embarrassed. I just wanted everyone to recognize me as just a passing NPC, but I’m already ruined…
*On the 23rd, I heard that Mr. McCall was coming to visit King Kim, so I brought gifts and various things on behalf of Mr. McCall and delivered them to the teacher. I also talked and practiced with the teacher. In fact, this time, I was planning to travel to the western part of the country and do military training with Yeon like usual, but I couldn’t go because Yeo was gone, but I was very grateful to see that Mr. McCall had purposely practiced wearing the cotton towel that Yeon had given me as a commemorative gift. I’ll go next time. Mud mud. It was nice to see you after a long time. It was an evening where my junior, Ai-莉, talked about various things about kendo and gave advice. These days, I often see Aegyo relying on me a lot, knowingly or unknowingly. These days, I’ve been learning a lot from Aegyo that the cuteness of a junior is like this, and that the existence of a junior who is sweet to a senior like this is something that transcends the idea of being cute. As someone who has always been somewhat troubled by the existence of juniors, I think this is the first junior since I was born that made me open my heart like this.
*On the 24th, while working as a teacher for the teacher from morning to evening, I attended the 8th dan class held by Teachers Ota-san Jeong, Teacher Pyeong-gawa Shin-man, and Master held in Noma in the afternoon. Originally, I didn’t plan on going, but the teacher said he was going too, so he said, “If you want to go on a field trip, you can come, but you can’t practice because you’re in a lot of pain right now.” So I replied that I knew and contacted teacher Ota and asked, “Is it okay if I go on a field trip?” The teacher said, “Field trip? “I need to warn you because you’re only planning on going on a field trip!
” It is said that he eventually finished practicing because he said he would.
雅 returned to the gym. However, he was not in a state where he could practice, but during the tour, he was allowed to take a video. The photos were taken by me and the teacher.
After taking Master Eun Lang to the Military Police Station in Newwood, I got off at Sakuramon Station while playing Pikmin, walked straight from the Military Police Station, walked around the castle, and eventually walked all the way to Tokyo Station. I had to go to Noma as is, so I broke up with Eun and went home, packed my bags, and went straight to Noma. I went to Noma and took the 8th dan exam. I did mock practice with teachers from all over the country who were Japanese, military, and civil servants and took care of the dojo that Mr. Ota had entrusted to me in advance. Afterwards, I put on a mask and practiced, and then I cleaned up the dojo and went out with the teacher. Study. It was great. I was worried about whether I would be okay as my condition hadn’t recovered much, but I think I was very happy that I went. Mr. 高橋 shared all the videos in our group chat room, so I studied by watching them together. I think I was able to learn in many ways about re-awareness of my current challenges and the direction of things I need to pursue further in the future.
Afterwards, I drove Master to my wife’s funeral and returned home. Since there were going to be a lot of police officials and acquaintances, it would have been right for me to go in person and attend overnight, but I didn’t want the teachers to worry if they showed me looking as thin as before, and I thought the teacher would get ready today and leave. There was something I didn’t think of as planned, so I decided to send it by telegram. On this day, Master finished practicing Part 3, went to a funeral, and had to go home for another 2 hours, so he didn’t know what to say, but I assisted him and helped him with that. Before going home, I played Pikmin, and got off at a station I don’t normally get off at, and walked home for 2 hours. persimmon. Teacher asked why I didn’t go home right away and went back to playing games. But Pikmin is fun… ? How fun it is to color a map of the places I walk and scatter flowers… .!
*On the 25th, while I was continuing to write the manuscript, my teacher contacted me to let me know whether I should go or not, so in the evening I went to Kyoto for the first time in a long time and attended the Tokyo Metropolitan Government joint exercise. I may have been in pain since the end of September due to an injury, but I’ve been under a lot of stress for one reason or another, so I’ve been trying not to spend time practicing outside as much as possible, but since I attended the joint training for the first time in a long time, my training and content have improved a lot… ? Have you overcome your slump? ? Master, there are still some shortcomings, and this is an area that I am constantly paying attention to, so I need to be more conscious of it and fix it. But first of all, in terms of the overall big picture, the swordsman has become much stronger, so I guess it was because the teachers at the examination room said… !
From this point on, the slump that had been going on since June was broken!
Exit!
*On the 26th, I heard that interns were coming to my workplace, so my immediate senior went to work there, and I went to a class of 100 people with Professor N and taught them. Next week is the midterm exam period, so even if I were to assist, it would have been limited to responding to students who were having trouble with freeriding or group activities… ? Class materials, grades, and comments submitted by students were also submitted during Professor N’s class. I finished my work without any problems. After work, my teacher contacted me about tomorrow’s 8th dan screening tour, and I was just about to start talking when I received a call from my teacher regarding the successful applicants on the first day. “Wait a minute, I’ll call you back!
” He said. I believed in that ‘wait a minute’. I couldn’t get on the train for the entire 40 minutes, so I kept walking along the tracks on my way home and waiting for my teacher’s call. It was an important story, and I had to go to practice in the morning at 19:00, so I wanted to finish the story between 18:00 and 19:00 as much as possible, but since the teacher also had a schedule, the timing was strange, so there was an unfortunate situation where tomorrow’s schedule was different. I didn’t like it… ?It was raining so I was so exhausted that I just took the tram and called. John. It is said that I have rewritten in my dictionary that the one thing in this world that should not be trusted is Master’s words, “Just wait a moment.” When I think about it, there have been a few times when he didn’t call me and said, “Wait a minute,” while talking about something important like this. For some reason, I completely believed what he said. The teachers and seniors whom I was indebted to on a regular basis passed the 4th and 8th dan. Passed candidates. 4 out of 9 people. I was very happy to see that among them were the names of senior Gogyo and teacher Jungwon. Long live the people of Kiwada!
I asked an acquaintance who was practicing at the dojo where my senior was staying to congratulate him on his behalf (I lost his contact information…), and he said he received this reply the next day… !
Sigh ㅠㅠ There has been talk with senior Nekowa and other seniors from the Waseda Kendo Club from Tobuk about holding a celebration party for Senior Kobuk to pass 8th dan in the near future, so I think I’ll be going to Tobuk again around the beginning of the year, apart from the training session!
*On the 27th, the second day of the 8th Dan examination. I practiced in the morning and after eating with the teacher, I went to the Budokan. While waiting at the cafe, I watched the drama Queen Seondeok with my teacher (*For the past two months, I’ve been binge-watching Queen Seondeok, which I hadn’t even seen at the time, because of my teacher…) I watched the last episode, and I cried in the cafe when I saw Bidam die. The teacher said, “If you cry over this, you won’t be able to finish the movie I originally planned to watch with you last week.” ?” It’s called Rashi. How can you not shed a single tear while watching Bidam’s Soon-ae? Ha ㅠㅠㅠ Bidam… The ideal would be Yushin, but it was a drama that resonated with Bidam a lot… . Now I know why Queen Seondeok was so popular when it aired… .
I was on a tour of the 8th dan examination with my teacher, Mr. Yamada, and my students from Nippon University, and as I was taking separate notes on the stories and thoughts the teachers gave me and organizing my own thoughts, the teacher said, “It’s like we’re doing an interview.” “So,” he teased. Since I don’t have the feeling I had when I first went on a field trip last year and when I went on a field trip this May, I wonder why on earth I feel this way… .? I thought about it carefully, and Mr. 岡田 said, “That’s because you’ve had so much experience with this atmosphere that you’ve adapted to it!
” They say it is. Master asked, “What did you think when you saw it? Isn’t it fun? It will be worth it. “Isn’t there a single person who catches the judges’ attention?” It’s called Rashi. I guess today was just that kind of day… I think I’m going to hold a 7th dan women’s class in the eastern region scheduled for March in my teacher’s hometown. I heard from my seniors in the left area that I should come there because my teacher will be there too, so I said, “If the teacher allows it…” ?” When I looked at my teacher, he smiled and said, “I understand!
“You need my permission to go!
?” He said so, so I decided to leave that period blank. Anyway. Just as Master said. He said, “That’s what Haru-chan should aim for.” Don’t forget. During the first screening in the morning, I was extremely tired, so I went out for a walk and went for a walk. I continued to walk in circles around Budokan, Shinbu-cho, 半蔵門, and Hwang-yeon. Later, when I checked the number of steps I walked today, it was over 25km. After the examination, I went to the academy with my teacher, so considering the morning and evening training I had, I understand why my eyes were half-closed on the train when my teacher and I went home… Mud mud… But there was a new Pikmin challenge that popped up, so I played Pikmin again, walked around for 10 minutes, and then went home… The next day, full body muscle pain… !
By the way, it’s been a while since I last saw you at the Budokan. Is this the first time since I called you in August about Mr. Seino? To his face, he said, “You’re going to start working at our company next week?!
” You said… . “Hmm… . It went around and around and it ended up like that… . (Because when I got kicked out of the final interview for all of the candidates I saw in the early days, Mr. Eunji helped me prepare for the interview and gave me information… I was kicked out when my job was already almost decided, so I couldn’t look at my teacher’s face properly for years… ㅠㅠ) “When I answered that, he laughed a lot and asked me about my working days… . From the first day, I went to the company to say hello and immediately went on an external business trip… . Not at headquarters… .Similarly, at the Budokan, a man I didn’t know greeted me first, so I asked who it was… ? But then I found out that he was in the same department as me. No, why do you know my face too? ? Jonmu… Amazing… Still, he seemed like a very nice person, so I said hello to my parents and asked them to take good care of me.
*On the 28th, I rested well for the first time in a long time. I rested, but in the sense that I just did what I wanted to do without doing things related to work, research, or kendo as much as possible? Did you have some alone time? In the sense that? Rest. These days, I’m relieving stress from my brain muscles by reading modern literature from time to time, and this month, I’m reading the Little Women and Earth Series by 夢野久作. Daejon Jam. I liked the urgency in the short story called ‘Pity’, and the approach of organizing the big parts of the story through only newspaper articles and letters was very urgent and fun. Anyway, I played Pikmin all day, had lunch, read a book, talked on the phone with my parents for a while, went to the dojang in the evening and talked to the teachers about something I had to report to them, had fun doing kendo, and then played Pikmin again and came home. With the thought of training my legs, I kept jumping up and down the triple staircase near the White House (the three stairs on the hill of extreme evil…), and then continued walking along Shinda River before heading home. My conscience was pricked, so I read one of my papers and went to sleep.
*On the 29th, I overslept in the morning and was late in painting. It was a day where I had to repeat the dojo-dojo-school-dojo-school because I had to practice early in the morning and emcee the senior thesis presentation hearing. In the meantime, teacher Hae-no from the 国士舘 asked, “For a kid who overslept and came running, are you feeling really good today?” He kept teasing me while saying, ㅂㄷㅂㄷ. But the practice content was really good. Overall, it feels like tasks are concentrated into one and organized within me. Teacher Ota said that we should concentrate more of our assignments into one task than now. But now that I think about it, I was late to Odo-館 that day as well. I heard that a senior in a high position at the Ministry of Home Affairs is coming to the Dojo, so after Noma in the morning, I listened to some internal issues with the teacher and senior about changes in Japanese politics since the 1950s and current problems, and then I was 30 minutes late to go to the dojo. jam. It was a day with a lot of traveling so time was tight, but I was out of my mind, damn it. Master and Mr. Yata had prepared various mock preparations for the lectures in Belgium next month and Hong Kong in February (where I will also be attending as an instructor), and while recording such details and helping from the side, on the other hand, we also did the 4 lectures scheduled for the next day. -We studied together while dealing with those who were taking the 5th Dan examination. In a situation where it is becoming a task to improve the quality of each match, the teacher also Mr. Yamada also asks us to continue to image and study more about the distances in which each technology is made, the circumstances under which such technologies are created, and the outcomes based on correct and clear evidence. It’s a story I hear every time, but when the judging season is over and I listen to the teachers again, I think, ‘Ah, this is the part,’ and it feels like my image is being updated in a better direction every time. My teacher tells me that I’ve been feeling sick lately. He must have been worried, so he gave me a cardigan to wear while working in the lab or at home. It feels so nice and warm. Thank you. After listening to my senior’s presentation, I told the professor that I would like to improve the presentation I gave in the middle of this month and present it again next month. The professor gave permission to have time at the end of the year, so we decided to organize the primary data more precisely and clearly point out the relationships by the December presentation date. By the way, after practice, Mr. Sangyo asked if Uchikata had changed recently. As you said, when I asked which do you think was better, before or now, the teacher said, “Whatever does the teacher say?” It’s called Rashi. “Master, basically, no matter what I do, he just ignores me and doesn’t know… “I answered. It’s true that I changed it, but both have their pros and cons. I’m not sure which one is better…
*On the 30th, I practiced with my teacher in the morning. The teacher went that way to the 4th and 5th dan exams, and I went all the way to Yeongang University and did various things. In the afternoon, I attended a joint performance between universities and colleges at Ichigashi University in Ichigo. I’m going to goof around and pick up the Pikmin of the Four Seasons again… .!
I was playing Pikmin and someone next to me called me, so I looked up and it was teacher Toshiya Ishida.
It seems like I definitely practiced with these guys during the practice match on the Taku University campus, but now that I think about it, it was all done in Higashida…
Fall has come… !
This time, there was a lecture by Mr. Ishiden Shida, and the teacher spoke for 30 minutes on the topic of the situation of the Japanese kendo world after the coronavirus, summarizing what he felt while looking at competitions such as the World Championships and All-Japan Championships. It was like that. After organizing the contents, I felt some points, so I will report them to the teacher separately after practice. Originally, I came out in the middle of the joint practice and joined the teacher, and there were things I had to convey to the Hong Kong Federation regarding the Hong Kong training, and there were some things I had to discuss about what I was thinking about for tomorrow’s school practice, but it looks like the screening ended at 15:00. . He said he had a bit of a cold, so I told him to go home first and I practiced until 17:00. I think it’s been a long time since I last practiced and sparred with close to 30 people. After practice, the skin near my toenails was torn and bleeding. It’s winter now… !
There was one thing that Teacher Seokta pointed out. It’s my strength, but on the other hand, it could also be holding me back? How do you use 剣先? How do I place my specialty within it? How can I sharpen my sword with more precision? The 8th Dan teachers and seniors who attended the training were looking at my practice content for the first time in a long time (the first half was practice for students + those in their 50s or younger, the second half was instruction, and the last 10 minutes were He evaluated that “the awareness of priors is completely different from before” (free warning and this order), and said, “The other party will definitely be caught by that prior, but the other party There are many cases where, out of consideration, they forgo the favor themselves. In that case, it is better not to have such a sword in the first place.” What I’m saying is to think again about the fundamental reasons why you have to have such a priority in the first place and why you have to be so strong. “Now that I am able to control my opponent with the first step, and threaten my opponent with the first step, now I have to use that as my greatest advantage and strength as a weapon that can ultimately catch my opponent,” said Teacher Won-Won Lee. You told me. Now that I have been able to create a live state, I need to further develop it into something that can be made into a fight with technology. But I don’t want to become weak and hurt my opponent, so it’s okay if I pull out my sword or get caught every time. Just ask and do it. Then I have to get hit again in a match to come to my senses. No, I’ve done that a few times and missed important competitions, but looking at the fact that I haven’t been able to fix it so far, I feel like this life is a bad one… It’s a matter of personality… On the way home, while the Central Line was delayed, it was also the last day of this month’s quest, so I was able to pick up Ekis by myself, so I did Pikmin. He said he finally got home after 2 hours. Senior Chunghyo said he didn’t want to go home with his hukou, so he asked, “Can’t Haru-chan go to school tomorrow with my hukou instead?” When he asked me to do that, I told him to do it with power and said, “I won’t do that.” But I very much understand how you feel… It was really really far away. On the other hand, my students were shocked when they saw that even general seniors in the college knew that I worked in the college. “See you at work next week!
” While saying this, senior Ui-藤 said, “No, senior, you are still in the federation…” ? Hoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… . I just thought it would be okay to reveal it to everyone at this point, so I decided to tell it from now on… Why does everyone know… Why… The only Instagram content where I wrote about my internal affairs was set to not be made public unless I was my best friend, so why…? ?anyway. It was said that it was heartwarming to see that the Ilgyo students remembered me talking to them and accepting their practice during regular exchanges with juniors from Tokyo University, and sent me a long message on the way home after practice. !
Apart from that, my junior at the gym was upset that he failed the screening today, so I advised him to check the screening details and practice changing some of the points until the next screening. My junior has been doing kendo since he was a baby, and it’s not that he doesn’t have any skills, but it’s something I’ve always felt, but whether the instructors at my junior’s dojo (*one of the dojos I go to…) have good intentions or not, why are they so strong? I’m not the type to teach, so in the same sense, there were some parts where I felt sorry for the people who started kendo as adults at the dojang or the students who became adults. There was a teacher who specialized in learning kendo, but since there were many 7th danjins who were older than the teacher, it formed a faction, and the influence of those who did not specialize in kendo became a bit stronger… ? However, even those who do not specialize in that field are not unaware of the hardships faced by the instructors because in college, seniors and juniors are clearly classified in order of graduation. So I feel a bit sad. The dojo I’ve seen only has 7 dans, so it’s only 1 minute before it opens… So, you know… Even if there is a body language, you must keep your mouth shut unless it is steamed… That’s the same for me. If there are a lot of boatmen, the boat goes to the mountain, but it’s like a person who isn’t even a boatman is pulling the boat with his mouth in front of the boatman, so it’s a pity for the people on the boat who don’t know anything… Anyway, I collected all the whipped cream, which was Pikmin’s biggest challenge, and received a rock Pikmin headband, and I also completed the 3rd anniversary badge challenge. It’s rewarding to walk close to 20,000 to 30,000 steps every day… !
Oh, one more thing. Since the expiration date of Starbucks Deep Cone is today, I upgraded and tried the new Ichiko Miruku (Strawberry Milk) and it tasted great. I have to buy this every day from now on. -Anyway. This is the end of November’s story… I had a lot more to say, but I was so lost that I just wrote a few lines or words in my diary, so if I have more to write about later, I’ll write it down. I thought I’d be a little busy once November ended, but what about November? Damn it, is it true that I have everything scheduled until May? In December, let’s take some time to be healthy, eat well, and take care of ourselves more. My teacher and I always say these days, “If I don’t cherish myself, I won’t be able to cherish others.” “I can’t do it.” We exchange this with each other. The next comment is the same, “Just taking the obvious things for granted.” Ugh… Looking at it this way, both Master and I are the type to die from overwork, so we worry about each other even though we know that even if we say this clearly, it won’t be heard. under. Still, in order to achieve the goal we set together with Sensei, we have to stay healthy and work for a long time…雅 as well, I hope everyone has a healthy December… !
